Th...In this section we examine parametric equations and their graphs. In the two-dimensional coordinate system, parametric equations are useful for describing curves that are not necessarily functions. The parameter is an independent variable that both x and y depend on, and as the parameter increases, the values of x and y trace out a path along a plane curve.

    We can use the concept of vectors and points to find equations for arbitrary lines in Rn, although in this section the focus will be on lines in R3.

Then we will learn how to eliminate the parameter, translate the equations of a curve defined parametrically into rectangular equations, and find the parametric equations for curves defined by rectangular equations.

It explains how to graph parametric curves, eliminate the parameter to find Cartesian equations, and analyze motion along a path. Examples illustrate the flexibility of parametric equations in describing curves that are difficult to express in standard Cartesian form.

    In R2, a parameterization of a curve is a pair of equations x=x(t) and y=y(t) that describes the coordinates of a point (x,y) on the curve in terms of a parameter ...In R2, a parameterization of a curve is a pair of equations x=x(t) and y=y(t) that describes the coordinates of a point (x,y) on the curve in terms of a parameter t. In R3, a parameterization of a curve is a set of three equations x=x(t), y=y(t), and z=z(t) that describes the coordinates of a point (x,y,z) on the curve in terms of a parameter t.
